HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. ga special from
North Sidney says: For months past the
greatest dissatisfaction has prevailed on
the Cape Breton railway. Hundreds OF
workmen have not been paid for nearly
three months. The Government has placed
the road in the hands OF the sureties OF
Sims Il Slater, the contractors. Mr.. Sher-
wood. who is here acting for the sureties,
addressed large gathering yesterday. He
charged Sims with recklessness and incom.
potency. and pledged himself to liquidate
every dollar Of the Indebtedness. Mr..
Sims in reply admitted that b, had not .
dollar in the contract, and stated that
when the contract was signed it was ex-
pressly understood that q number Of prom.
inent politicians In this country were to
have third interest in it. He denounced
them rs "bo0dlers,' whose only object
was TO appropriate money furnished by the
Government

TOTAL. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .S.:4s
Adding these figures to the aggregate popula-
ton Of the fifteen counties organized since the
appostionment Of 1886, makes u total of 5s.2l2
Inhabitants living in eighteen counties, who
will. prac ically. have no vote in the next House
of Representatives.
II, however, these eighteen counties were
added to the eighty-seven that are assigned
Representatives under the present apportion-
nent, l05 OF the 1a5 Representatives. to which
the House is limited would be absorbed, leav-
ing only twenty to be distributed, on the basis
of population, among the more populous coun.
ties. The result of this would be that fully
thirty counties, each having less than 6OCO in
habitants and an aggregate population, rs
shown by the census of March l, 1897 Of only
107, Oa, would have an aggregate Of thirty Rep
resentatives: while twenty-five counties, hav.
ing m aggregate population OF 5S}.531. would be
reduced to one Representative each. and six
other counties, having an aggregate population
Of 2s9, 9a3, would be reduced to two Representa-.
tives each. In other words, thirty counties.
having an aggregate population Of only i0S ,30J,
would have thirty votes In the House. one for
every 35sG inhabitants, while thirty-one other
counties. having an aggregate population Of
Ss5, 4SO, would have only thirty seven votes, one
for every 1910 Inhabitants.
1t must be apparent, in view Of these facts,
that no apportionment that can be made under
the provisions of our present constitution.
would correct the inequalities of representation
you deplore, and II Is equally apparent that II %
new apportionment could DO made this winter,
based on the census OF 49,, these Inequalities
would only be made more conspicuous and OBJ.
noxioSs.
You may. Of course, urge that the Legislature
could submit to the people for ratification such
amendments to the constitution as would in
sure just apportionment in 1871. But such
amendments might have been submitted dur
ing the session Of 1876. when the question OF
apportIonment was under consideration, or dur
ing the session Of 1886. The defects and inc
qualities Of our present system were Just as ap
parent then as they are now. Indeed, they have
been universally acknowledged during the past
six or eight years. and yet successive sessions
of the Legislature have taken no steps to cor.
rect them. What assurance. then, could be af.
forded tina, the Legislature. ii convened in ex.
ira session this winter, would adopt any meas
ures for correcting these Conceded ineQual
ties.
The fact is that Kansas has outgrown its or.
ganic law, and that its different parts can not
be made to at the great State Of the present
1t may be true, as you urge, that many Of oui
laws need revision. This argument might be
made in support OF . demand for an extra ses.
sion OF the Legislature Mt any time. can not
believe, however. il would justify an extra ses
sion Of the Legislature this winter.
Yours very respectfully

Egypt has long been known as a
country for onions. The Israelites in
their journey towards Canaan MUIR
INJURED at the loss of the onions, the
cucumbers and the fesh-pots of
Egypt. The people, like most of these
ancient nations, have only just found
out how great are their natural ad.
vantages. Not dozen years ago ex-
porting onions by the Egyptians was
not thought of. We note that during
two months recently, no less than a..
900 tons were received in Liverpool
from Egypt.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

We believe that Christianity is
making greater progress at this time
than ever before; and we believe
that the teaching of the Sunday
school is one of the most important
promoters of that progress. But
this fact should make the Sunday
school teachers watchful to note and
resist the perils that threaten to re-
tard or divert this progress from its
true end.
DR.. Alvah Hovey, in recent adj
dress, pointed out three dangers
which, perhaps, more deeply than
any other effect Christian teaching
and practice. They are
l. A decreasing reverence for the
authority of the Holy Scriptures.
He admits that the Bible is studied
by more people than ever before, but
he says: at is accepted by many as
an incentive to independent religious
study in quest OF the way of life, rath-
er than as a final and sufficient reve-
lation of that way"
2. Too great reliance on the au-
thority OF Christian consciousness.
That really means that each ones
own reason and his experience as APP
pretended by him at the time are
made his rule and guide. The wis
est mans reason and the best man s
sentiment must be tested by the re-
vealed will of God, or religious truth
will quickly become distorted.
3. Consecrating only part ofone's
life to the Lord. tits false princi-
pie to suppose that only one seventh
of ones time and one tenth of ones
income are to be given to our Lord.
Nothing less than the devotion of all
life to him will make men Christians.
DR.. Hovey wisely says SIN no age
since the time of Christ has so much
been at stake as now in no age has
the veal of mankind been so wholly
dependent, under Cod, on the spirit
ual energy and conservation of Chris
tians." Thee tho lights deserve the
close and prayerful attention of Sun
day school teachers.-Th The Pilgrim
Teacher.
